WHEN CHINA COMES TO CHILE.... AI WEIWEI Born in 1957, A. Weiwei lived the cultural revolution and went to NYC for 13 years. Qin Wei, his father was also an artist, poet and even went to Chile. He met Pablo Neruda too, a famous Chilean writer. He was persecuted from the Chinese government as A. Weiwei is. In his art, he criticized openly the Chinese repression and also used the current political movement like the Syrian migrants. Inoculation is an exhibition to open the public' eyes. I would be aware of the repression that exists in this world. Based on what I lived and saw in China, I can reflect on A. Weiwei's art using symbols as the Chinese porcelain, bikes, and paintings connecting the past to the present. He also brings into plays items like cameras in a redundant manner exposing himself against the Chinese government. He gets inspired from the current political and economic events. He also experienced with migrants a run away a that is depicted in one of his work. It reflected what I experienced during 15 months... POWERFUL!
